  • the present invention provides a radiant electric heater in which the protective cover is secured in place by means of a return flange of a dish-like member of the heater.
  • a means of securement ensures correct positioning of the protective cover in a cost-effective manner in that no additional components are required.
  • the edges of the protective cover are retained within the return flange and susceptibility to damage is therefore reduced.
  • Figure 1 is a plan view, partly cut away, of one embodiment of a radiant electric heater according to the present invention

  • the radiant electric heater shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a metal dish-like support 1 provided with a base layer 3 of compacted microporous thermal insulation material.
  • the metal dish-like support comprises a generally planar base 1A with an upstanding (as shown in the figures) peripheral wall IB having at an upper end thereof an outwardly extending flange IC.
  • a heating element 5 is provided secured to the base layer 3.
  • the heating element 5 comprises a corrugated metal ribbon mounted edgewise on the base layer 3 and secured by partial embedding in the base layer.
  • a heating element is well known to the skilled person.
  • the heating element 5 could alternatively be of coiled bare wire or coiled ribbon form or of sheathed wire or ribbon form or of lamp form or of any other form known to the skilled person secured in or adjacent to the base layer. More than one form of heating element could also be provided in the heater.
  • a terminal block 7 for the heating element 5 is mounted on the dish-like support 1 and allows the heating element to be connected to a voltage supply for operation.
  • a peripheral wall 9 of thermal insulation material is provided in the heater within the upstanding peripheral wall of the dish-like support 1 and has a height such that an upper surface of the insulating peripheral wall is at a level somewhat below the upper end of the peripheral wall of the dish-like support 1.
  • the wall 9 is integral with the base layer 3.
  • the insulating wall could be provided as a separate member, as is well known in the art .
  • cover sheet 11 is provided spaced from the heating element 5, the cover sheet being partly cut away in Figure 1 to show the underlying components.
  • the cover sheet 11 may comprise any suitable material such as a fabric comprising glass filaments, ceramic filaments or metal filaments.
  • the filaments may be of a woven, knitted or mesh form.
  • these suitably comprise a suitably high temperature withstanding alloy, such as a stainless steel, and fine wire filaments, which may be as little as 25 microns in diameter, woven together to form a fabric.
  • glass or ceramic filaments When glass or ceramic filaments are employed, these may be woven, knitted or matted to form a fabric.
  • the ceramic filaments may comprise alumino-silicate materials, such as supplied by the Carborundum Company Ltd., under the trade names Fibertex and Fibersil.
  • a fabric of woven alumino-borate-silicate filaments may be employed, such as supplied by 3M Company under the trade name Nextel .
  • a zirconia cloth fabric may also be employed, for example as supplied by Zircar Products, Inc.
  • the glass filaments may comprise filaments of E glass, C glass, R glass or S glass or modifications thereof.
  • E glass may be replaced by magnesium oxide, such a glass being commercially available under the trade name Advantex from OCF Corporation.
  • the weight per unit area of the cover sheet 11 should be as small as practicable to ensure optimum thermal efficiency of the heater. In general, the weight per unit area of the cover sheet should be less than 1 kg/m , with a typical weight per unit area being in the range from 50 to 300 g/m 2 for glass and ceramic filament fabrics, but somewhat greater for metal filament fabrics.
  • the cover sheet or sheets 11 are at least partially translucent to allow the transmission therethrough of visible and infra-red radiation from the heating element 5. Additionally, especially in the case of metal filament fabrics, the fabric may absorb and re-radiate radiation from the heating element 5.
  • the or each cover sheet 11 overlies the upper surface of the peripheral wall 9 and the outwardly extending flange IC of the dish-like support and is retained in place by a return inwardly extending flange ID of the dish-like support.
  • the or each cover sheet 11 is sandwiched between the outwardly extending flange IC and the return inwardly extending flange ID. In this way the or each cover sheet 11 is securely held in place and the edges thereof are enclosed between the two flanges IC and ID and are therefore protected against damage. Further, no additional components are required to secure the or each cover sheet 11 in place and securement can be effected quickly and efficiently.
  • the inner end of the return inwardly extending flange ID is formed with a downwardly extending flange portion IE which has the effect of lowering the or each cover sheet 11 so as to be close to the upper surface of the peripheral insulating wall 9.
  • the or each cover sheet 11 is effectively recessed into the dish-like support 1.
  • the heating element 5 is spaced from the or each heating cover sheet 11 and there is no direct contact therebetween.
  • the spacing eliminates direct contact between the heating element 5 and the cover sheet or sheets 11 so as to minimise the thermal capacity of the heating element and to enable the same to reach full operating temperature as quickly as possible.
  • the spacing also protects the user from the electrical potential of the heating element 5, especially when the cover sheet or sheets 11 are of metal filaments.
  • An apertured sheet 13 is optionally provided overlying the one or more cover sheets 11 of the fabric and sandwiched between the outwardly extending flange IC and the return inwardly extending flange ID of the dish-like support 1.
  • the apertured sheet 13 is shown partly cut away in Figure 1 to reveal the underlying components.
  • Such apertured sheet 13 may serve more than one purpose. It may provide support and/or protection for the cover sheet or sheets 11 of the fabric, enabling the thickness of the sheet or sheets to be minimised and also minimising the risk of manual contact with internal components of the heater.
  • the apertured sheet 13 can comprise perforations 15 in a metal or ceramic sheet or the sheet can be of expanded metal form 17 (both forms being shown in Figure 1) , or other appropriate lattice-form.
  • the apertured sheet 13 could alternatively comprise any suitably apertured refractory material .
  • the radiant electric heater of the present invention may be used, for example, in cooking appliances such as grills and ovens, and in general heating applications such as space heating and industrial thermal processing.
  • the apertured sheet 13, formed of metal also or alternatively fulfils the screening function.
  • the radiant electric heaters shown in Figures 3 and 4 differ from that shown in Figures 1 and 2 in a number of respects .
  • the peripheral insulating wall 9 is substantially the same height as the upstanding peripheral wall IB of the dish-like member and no downwardly extending flange IE is provided, with the result that the or each cover sheet 11 is not recessed into the dish-like member in the manner of Figures 1 and 2.
  • outwardly extending flange IC and the return inwardly extending flange ID with the or each cover sheet 11 secured therebetween are crimped at 19 between their inward and outward boundaries so as to increase the security of the fastening of the or each cover sheet between the two flanges.
  • the peripheral insulating wall 9 is substantially the same height as the upstanding peripheral wall IB of the dish-like member and no downwardly extending flange IE is provided, with the result that the or each cover sheet 11 is not recessed into the dish-like member in the manner of Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the or each cover sheet 11 is therefore simply sandwiched between the outwardly extending flange IC and the return inwardly extending flange ID.
